Let me preface this by saying that normally carnation turns rancid on my skin, which is why Alice broke my heart. Maiden, however, is stunning. The Evil Carnation reconciles itself with gentle rose and light tea to make a scent that's feminine, sweet, and spicy. I think this might be a big-bottle purcahse in the future, as I can easily see myself wearing this often, but we'll see how quickly I finish up my imp.
